    This sounds like a joke, but cigarettes were in fact used to treat asthma at some point.

      Datura Stramonium cigarettes to be precise. That plant can give you a very unpleasant horror trip if you consume to much of it.

  Many seeing this are far too young to even remember when doctors actually endorsed cigarette smoking. There were ads in magazines and newspapers for brands of cigarette with the picture of a doctor and his reasons why this particular brand was the best one to smoke

    To be clear, when you say doctors endorsed cigarette smoking, a small percentage of doctors were duped into endorsing it and their recommendations boosted by the tobacco industry.

    I’ve got my Grandfather’s old copy of The Boy’s Companion published before the date in that meme, and it’s very clear in its message that smoking is bad for you. They’ve known it was harmful to health since at least the 17th century, and tobacco was only brought to Europe in the 16th.

    The cunts who sent that mascot to the hospital fucking KNEW.

  Were they wrapped in asbestos?

    The asbestos goes in the filter, not the wrap

  AI trash

    According to Gemini, this photo is 100% real because “The image caption states it’s from 1948. AI image generation technology as we know it today did not exist at that time.”

    Because we all know that’s completely impossible to write a fake caption over an image

  Just thinking of Sleeper where Woody is told that smoking was found to actually be healthy and then given a cigarette for breakfast.

  Speaking of the good 'ol days, remember when “It’s a shoop. I can tell by the pixels?” was thing. This feels like that but everyone seems to be running it through an AI checker…

  • Syd@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I’m an expert, if you look at the pixels on the smoke they give it away.
